Do neonates hear what we measure? Assessing neonatal ward soundscapes at the neonates ears
Bhan Lam, Peijin Esther Monica Fan, Yih Yann Tay +5
Acoustic guidelines for neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) aim to protect vulnerable neonates from noise-induced physiological harm. However, the lack of recognised internationa…
Automating Urban Soundscape Enhancements with AI: In-situ Assessment of Quality and Restorativeness in Traffic-Exposed Residential Areas
Bhan Lam, Zhen-Ting Ong, Kenneth Ooi +10
Formalized in ISO 12913, the "soundscape" approach is a paradigmatic shift towards perception-based urban sound management, aiming to alleviate the substantial socioeconomic costs…
A Real-Time Platform for Portable and Scalable Active Noise Mitigation for Construction Machinery
Woon-Seng Gan, Santi Peksi, Chung Kwan Lai +3
This paper introduces a novel portable and scalable Active Noise Mitigation (PSANM) system designed to reduce low-frequency noise from construction machinery. The PSANM system cons…
Autonomous Soundscape Augmentation with Multimodal Fusion of Visual and Participant-linked Inputs
Kenneth Ooi, Karn N. Watcharasupat, Bhan Lam +2
Autonomous soundscape augmentation systems typically use trained models to pick optimal maskers to effect a desired perceptual change. While acoustic information is paramount to su…
ARAUS: A Large-Scale Dataset and Baseline Models of Affective Responses to Augmented Urban Soundscapes
Kenneth Ooi, Zhen-Ting Ong, Karn N. Watcharasupat +3
Choosing optimal maskers for existing soundscapes to effect a desired perceptual change via soundscape augmentation is non-trivial due to extensive varieties of maskers and a deart…
